death to character.ai

i fucking hate this app so much oh my gof

i'm at school and i'm sitting with this one girl who i kind of talk to..

of course i'm a nosy ass bitch so i look over to see what she's doing on her phone (she looked very invested). she was talking with one of those character.ai fictional chatbots (i don't remember the character), treating it like it was actually a sentient human being.......................

no hate to her AT ALL but OH MY GOD i don't understand the appeal with this app. 85% of the time the chatbots aren't even 100% character accurate and if you really wanted to interact with a fictional character, just use your imagination!!! draw you with your fictional character!!! make a comic!!! i've been doing this for years, and it never let me down!!! it's way better to do this than to just stare at a screen for hours every day talking to a robot pretending to be a fictional character.

if there's something i'm not getting here feel free to let me know but like.... ?????? i don't get it

as someone who uses cai, I HATE IT TOOOOO!!!

like, the only reason i use it is because it helps me practice my writing skills. yes, i know i could do that on tumblr - or even here - but it's just easier to have something to bounce off of, even if it's an ai.

frankly, no matter how you use it, it's addictive. and honestly...it's kinda weird to be talking to ai so much (i say this to myself; no hate to anyone else. you do you) but treating ai like its an actual human?? pls go touch grass, i beg.

Sigh I like roleplay but the topics are ‘taboo’ and personal so I prefer it on cai off with someone else trying to explain how to act and shit.

I’m against using off for like research and art and just incorporating it in every day life because people can’t seem to think for themselves. But making stories and roleplaying is inherently fun and I like to do it idk.

It’s not even about not wanting to create or write cus like I draw, I make world building, I make comics, I write stories, I have ocs. Just a guilty pleasure of mines :p

this is totally fine !! you do you !! i'm glad that you're finding a positive use out of c.ai : )

i only draw the line at people who are addicted to c.ai. like they can't function without opening the app and talking to chatbots

i'm also just heavily against ai in general so i just offered some other things that you could do that involves your comfort/fav fictional character that doesn't involve using an ai platform. if you use c.ai while also doing these things at the same time that's fine!!! its just something i wouldn't do

maybe people like the predictable responses the AI gives them. or maybe people feel so lonely to the point where they talk to AI bots. i used to do that but i quit C.AI cause it was ruining my social skills to be honest.

plus having Ai bots be in a relationship with them is so weird like it will absolutely be unhealthy for them. that girl absolutely does have secrets with those bots and i bet on it.

i totally get the lonely part. being insanely lonely will make you do some crazy shit. but like... i just feel like it won't help either way. it's a robot. not a real person you can make a genuine connection with. you'd have to be so delusional and out of touch to think that a robot will help you be less lonely. maybe i just don't get it though idk

yeah it is delusional. when i experienced that, i was VERY delusional. but i had to keep myself to face reality because i would be even more alone than i already am. I'm kind of afraid of the future though because with the Ai and robots evolving then it would be like Blade Runner 2049 and THAT would be a very delusional time for loners.
